  <description>This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Carter Woetzel, Lead researcher &amp;amp; economist for Shade Protocol, an app for private DeFi.
Shade Protocol is an array of connected privacy-preserving DeFi applications built on Secret Network - all accruing value back to SHD ("shade"), the treasury, and governance token.

Carter's book, "Building Confidence in Blockchain"
Privacy on the blockchain
Bringing privacy to smart contracts
Auditability, for regulators
How do we get people to trust blockchain
How trust in the technology is crucial for adoption by users and financial institutions
Simplifying or solving the gas token
Futuristic currencies
Non traditional stable coins
Sustainability in protocol development
Blockchain at the moment is an experiment
Privacy issues with Intel
Our perception of time in blockchain
Homeomorphic Encryption as a solution to encryption
Why removing the middlemen is always in our best interest
